2019 NFL Mock Draft: Josh Allen Falls to the New York Giants
By Andrew Kim
This is my 2019 NFL Mock Draft (first 32 picks), with no trades, as this has mock has some shakeups with the draft officially upon us.
The 2019 NFL Draft process has been one of the most unpredictable pre-draft processes as even the number one overall pick is still in doubt. However, I will do my best to predict what teams will do in the first 32 picks but without any trades.
Some of this is what I have heard through Twitter and the grapevine but some of it is what I would do as some teams will reach to fill needs but some will just take the best player on their board. With that said, here is my final 1st Round NFL Mock Draft for 2019.
1. Arizona Cardinals: Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma
2. San Francisco 49ers: Nick Bosa, EDGE, Ohio State
3. New York Jets: Quinnen Williams, IDL, Alabama

5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Devin White, LB, LSU
6. New York Giants: Josh Allen, EDGE, Kentucky
7. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jonah Williams, T, Alabama
8. Detroit Lions: Devin Bush, LB, Michigan
9. Buffalo Bills: Christian Wilkins, IDL, Clemson
10. Denver Broncos: Drew Lock, QB, Missouri
11. Cincinnati Bengals: Andre Dillard, T, Washington State
12. Green Bay Packers: T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa
13. Miami Dolphins: Brian Burns, EDGE, Florida State
14. Atlanta Falcons: Jawaan Taylor, T, Florida
15. Washington Redskins: Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State
16. Carolina Panthers: Montez Sweat, EDGE, Mississippi State
17. New York Giants: Daniel Jones, QB, Duke
18. Minnesota Vikings: Garrett Bradbury, IOL, N.C. State
19. Tennessee Titans: Clelin Ferrell, EDGE, Clemson
20. Pittsburgh Steelers: Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple
21. Seattle Seahawks: D.K. Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss
22. Baltimore Ravens: N’Keal Harry, WR, Arizona State
23. Houston Texans: Cody Ford, IOL, Oklahoma
24. Oakland Raiders: Joshua Jacobs, RB, Alabama
25. Philadelphia Eagles: Marquise Brown, WR, Oklahoma
26. Indianapolis Colts: Jeffrey Simmons, IDL, Mississippi State
27. Oakland Raiders: Greedy Williams, CB, LSU
28. Los Angeles Chargers: Byron Murphy, CB, Washington
29. Seattle Seahawks: Rashan Gary, EDGE, Michigan
30. Green Bay Packers: Dalton Risner, T, Kansas State
31. Los Angeles Rams: Dexter Lawrence, IDL, Clemson
32. New England Patriots: Noah Fant, TE, Iowa
I definitely made some surprising picks but the draft overall is shocking itself so it all works out. One notable thing I do not have in this mock draft is that I have no safeties going in the first 32 picks. I thought teams that need defensive line and safety would opt to take the better player and in these cases, they were the defensive lineman.
The Iowa tight ends should go in the early to middle of the first round (like T.J. Hockenson) but I could see Noah Fant get taken earlier than pick 32 (New England Patriots) if the Oakland Raiders want him with one of their 1st round picks.
For the quarterbacks (like Dwayne Haskins), the Washington Redskins will most likely have to trade up to get him but I have the Ohio State quarterback slotted there at pick 15.
Wide receivers and cornerbacks are also question marks as the order will be determined by the preference for each team that would be willing to take one.
The Devins (White and Bush) look to be very coveted and should good early as the linebacker class is slim pickings other than the top two.
I also could see an early run on offensive lineman as this class has depth at the top. Lastly, for running back, I expect only one (Josh Jacobs) to be in contention for the Oakland Raiders.
